But would you really want to risk putting that may pictures on to one card? Unless you really need to.

It's from a candy bar commercial (Snickers I think) where a guy is painting the end zone for Kansas City and someone points out to him that he spelled 'Chiefs' as 'Chefs'.

I remember back in the day paying $61 for 64MB SD and that was a good deal!

I do love my Kingston DataTraveler 512MB USB 2.0 key though, very useful and it's plug + play.

Does this mean that manufacturers are starting to produce half-gigapixel cameras now?

Yep.

As for the post....I really don't know what you'd do with that much space. But, then again, 10 years ago people never thought you'd fill up a 1 gig hard drive.

Skip the res, and give me 16 bit colour depth.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

this could be used for a lot more than cameras.....PDAs & MP3s for instance.

 

[GoingUp]

man id love to get that for my dell axim... one day.... i have a 2GB one right now

 

[Wallydraigle]

I'm pretty sure there's a 12 or 16 gig one out there, but it's $$$.

I remember it from the cartoon Maggie and the Ferocious Beast.

100k=one pic? Maybe with a high compression rate on a 2MP camera. Try shooting raw with the latest 12 or 16MB cameras and an 8GB card would fill up pretty fast.

good place for secret pron stash

Shooting RAW, my 4GB microdrive can hold about 250-300 photos. With a 8GB that would be around 500-600, not unthinkable for a few days of shooting.

But CF cards have industrial uses as well, such as holding GPS maps for airplane navigation systems.

Sweet Mother of God. 1200 bucks. A 4GB can be had for about 400 bucks. A gig is about 80 bucks.
I'm hangin back pickin up everyone's 128 mb memory sticks for 20 bucks a crack. I paid 100 bucks for the first one I bought.
I take pics till I'm blue in the face and can't fill up 10 128mb cards at full res (5mp camera).
I'm still in disbelief :shocked:

And an entire operating system for a HTPC. Just placed an order, gonna re-prototype (though I suspect that Windows installation ALONE may fubar that card's 1000-rewrite capability)
